Description

The building has modern shop fronts and four first floor windows set in reveals, with architrave surrounds beneath friezes and cornices.

The roof has a parapet, and there is an egg and dart cornice along with a frieze decorated with four raised plaster wreaths. This building is part of a group that includes Nos 1 and 13 to 34 Sun Street.
